post. figured i should put this here too.
it's hard to gauge things so i probably would just base things partly on rewatchability(?)
1. nodame cantabile - the most hilarious drama i've ever seen. plus it made me appreciate classical music. ueno juri is so adorable as nodame.
2. Fullhouse - i love song hye gyo! it's been a while but i still remember how much i loved watching this.
3. Meteor Garden - this got me into this asian drama world plus i really loved hua ze lei :P
4. Coffee Prince - a really funny and sweet love story. i'm such a sucker for those.
4. Endless Love 1 (Autumn's Tale) - this made me cry, a lot. plus this was my very first kdrama.
5. Mars - zai zai! one of those dark dramas that really surprised me.
6. Hero - takuya kimura. need i say more? lol! my first jdrama.
6. kisarazu cat's eye - hilarious! i love bussan! and bambi! and uchi! and master! and ani! just like nodame, this can still make me lol even on reruns.
7. bara no nai hanaya - i loved the story. it just kept on surprising me til the end.
8. nobuta wo produce - kame + pi. i loved this even back when i wasn't a kame fan yet. did a rerun recently and who can resist shuuji to akira :P
8. tatta hitotsu no koi - the story's a bit overused but i loved it. this was what got me kame addicted. :)
8. honey & clover - it was quite an experience. i can't describe it but there was something different about the way i felt every time i watched this.
8. Proposal Daisakusen (+SP) - this wouldn't have made my list pre-SP (the drama ending sucked, thank goodness they did the SP.)
9. why why love - what can i do, i love romantic comedy dramas. all the giggling made me feel like i was back in highschool.
10. Pride - another one that became a favorite after a rerun. takeuchi + kimura = OTP
i noticed that all my first dramas (kdrama/twdrama/jdrama) made it into my list. :) some too became a favorite only after a rerun. i kinda cheated though, there were more than ten and i just couldn't decide :P
back in May 2006, this was my list
1. Fullhouse
2. Meteor Garden 1
3. Endless Love 1 (Autumn's Tale)
4. Mars
5. Hero (jap series with Takuya Kimura :D)
6. Jewel in the Palace
7. Good Luck!
8. Endless Love 2 (Winter Sonata)
9. Lovers In Paris
10. Sweet 18/Marmalade Boy
